What is the name of your state (Idaho)?
I am a needlework designer, and have published and sold many designs being sold through two distributors. The copyrights are not registered the US Copyright office but rather, each design has the copyright information imprinted upon each chart and each image of each design. I have Revocable Trust and Will set up. However, the designs are not yet specifically mentioned in that document.
I would prefer to not go to the great expense of registering each design for copyright. One reason is that I am continually creating and publishing new designs.
Upon my death, I want to gift or transfer the copyrights of each design to a certain person so they can continue to legally sell those designs. Is there a suggestion on an efficient way to do this?
Thank you for any help.
